In a spectacular double-feature perfect for an October evening, YA authors Adriana Mather and Kali Wallace will talk about their new books in an informal conversational format . Adriana Mather's new book, Haunting the Deep, her follow-up to the #1 New York Times bestseller How to Hang a Witch, is Titanic plus the delicious horror of Ransom Riggs and the sass of Mean Girls, in which a teen finds herself a passenger on the famous "ship of dreams." The Memory Trees, by Kali Wallace, the critically acclaimed author of Shallow Graves, is a darkly magical novel about a mysterious family legacy, the bonds of sisterhood, and the strange and powerful ways we are shaped by the places we call home. Register here for this free event!
An Unlikely Story is delighted to welcome the master of all things fairytale and fantasy-filled, Gregory Maguire! Gregory will introduce his new novel,
Hiddensee: A Tale of the Once and Future Nutcracker, an inventive novel inspired by a timeless holiday legend, intertwining the story of the famous Nutcracker with the life of the mysterious toymaker, Drosselmeier. Tickets include a copy of Hiddensee signed by Gregory following the presentation.

Kym recommends:
This is a touching novel about mothers, daughters, and the secrets we keep from each other. Clara never returned to her hometown in the Adirondacks after she went to college. Now her mother, Tamar, is ill and Clara finally returns home. Her questions build as her mother's memory fades. This is a perfect choice for book groups!
Jenna recommends:
A fantasy epic inspired by tales of the Han Dynasty, Ken Liu's sweeping saga elevates two heroes, Kuni and Mata, to overthrow an oppressive empire. In their quest to liberate the islands of Dara, the two men quickly become friends but just as quickly turn on each other as their conflicting visions of the future clash and shatter the unified rebellion. If you love battles, philosophy, and meddling gods, this series is for you.
Colleen recommends:
This book was such a fun read! I loved how crazy of a character Marge was. Perfect for teaching children to always look at any situation in a positive light and to never put boundaries on your imagination. Every page brought a new adventure for the reader! Ages 8-12
